Mold can have several bad side effects for your health Photo: How to remove black mold, 2010 Many people think there is not much of a health risk to having mold in their home; however, this may not be true. Mold tends to grow in damp places, and especially black mold can be dangerous to a person's health. Additionally, because of the humidity here in Louisiana, we are prone to mold and mildew. People that have allergies or asthma are more prone to have affects to mold, such as skin rash and itching, running nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion, and aggravation of asthma. Also, if you have an immune suppression or underlying lung disease, you may be at increased risk for infections from molds. However, healthy people can also suffer illnesses or symptoms from molds. According to the Weather Channel, "Some researches believe more serious effects may result from mold exposure, including fever, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, respiratory dysfunction (including coughing-up blood), frequent and excessive nose bleeds, dizziness, headaches, diarrhea, vomiting, and liver damage." Additionally, when it comes to black mold, some people have been hospitalized. Additionally, there are many myths to the removal of mold.

Thank You for this informative commentary, about the health risks of mold. I'm also concerned about the potential financial burden of cleaning mold, at its source.
Tenants tried to rob me of my money because of the mold. I told government career criminal who come to see the molds to meet my Stihl. Why does ZOG steals my hardearned monies from elderly immigrant ladies?
Unsrcupulous contractors made a big deal about black mold remedetion about 10 years ago here. Once the insurance companies quit covering black mold, you quit hearing about it.
Significant mold growth is a problem for anyone with asthma, allergies, or a compromised immunity system (elderly, children). Black mold (stachybotrys) is significantly more toxic than most other mold species. In order to stop mold growth, you need to stop water infiltration. Stop the water first and then you can remove the sections of gypsum, paneling, plywood, etc. that have significant mold growth. It's better to remove them when they are damp because the mold will stick to the substrate. If you remove mold impacted materials when the materials are dry, the mold may be released into the air (possibly inhaled) and will grow on any damp surface (including your lungs). Bleach is only good for very minor amounts of mold.
Solutions of Mercury, Cadmium or Lead are excellent mold and fungus inhibitors if you can stand the brain damage.
